GOING DIGITAL !!
THEATER:
After 120 years 35mm is now in serious decline. In January, 63% of the world's screens will be digital, according to report from IHS.
2011 will mark the year that digital cinema firmly replaces film projection. The accelerator in this case has been 3D which has taken the industry by storm. Digital screens will soon outnumber 35mm film screens. All media of course has been transient, and now that we are firmly in the digital age, consider these new paradigms:
Distribution Speed: Films can now reach the cinema as fast as one week after release and be distributed and moved around to various screens rapidly.
Cost: Digital filmmakers have a shot at competing with commercials, shorts, and feature films!
Control: Not only has speed and flexibility during production improved, but in digital format all manner of controls can be implemented relative to censoring, variation, interactivity, etc..
HOME THEATER:
It's hard to believe but DVD has only been around for approximately 15 years with the latest mainstream format being Blu-ray Disc (BD), which is itself only about 5 years old. DVD-R has provided a bridge to full digital storage and looks set to slide into the annals of history as other forms of distribution and greatly expanded storage technologies permeate the scene.
PERSONAL and PORTABLE PROJECTION:
